Nintendo NX release date slated for March 2017, but first public appearance could come earlier

Nintendo fans can still expect the new NX console to be launched by March of next year, at least according to the company itself.

Nintendo commented on the status of the new console during a recent meeting with shareholders, indicating that it is still expected to launch within that previously announced window of time, Nintendo Everything reported.

The company reconfirming that release window has to come as pleasant news for fans, especially since Nintendo hasn’t shared many details about it to this point.

Still, fans would probably prefer to have a good look at the new console well before its scheduled launch next year, and there may be a chance that such an occurrence does indeed take place.

Rumors from earlier this year have hinted at the possibility that the Nintendo NX could be showing up at different events scheduled for September.

First off, a report from VR World mentioned that Nintendo’s new console “should be announced during Tokyo Game Show 2016.” For those who may be unaware, this year’s Tokyo Game Show is currently set to start on Sept. 15 and last all the way through the 18th.
